It's been a bad year for claustrophobic dwarves in my fortress. One child tragically starved to death, trapped under a drawbridge, and two masons were narrowly rescued from starvation after walling themselves into different parts of the caverns. These experiences have made me wonder: Does the "[NAME] has been missing for a week" message appear whenever someone hasn't been seen for a week, or only when they've been dead for a week? I'm pretty sure it's the latter. I never got any message about the two masons (discovered them when I looked through the jobs list and saw "hunt for small creature"). And I'm pretty sure that the message I got about the trapped child came much more than a week after the drawbridge was closed. Thoughts? !!Science!! ? I don't suppose anyone's tested how long it takes a dwarf to starve/dehydrate.
